Saying you want a separation of church and state and then saying you want a legal system based on Natural Law…

(Natural Law, for those of you who don’t know, is a Catholic ethical system that pre-supposes design and the existence of a benevolent god. Essentially, nobody would hold any value of it without being religious)

K, I actually don’t want separation of church and state. I said that while we have it, we have no grounds for stopping gay marriage.

And I think there is actually an atheist/humanist argument for natural law as well, since you kinda need something like that for any objective morality (which everyone believes in at some level). If you think every reasonable person can be expected to know that hating gay people is wrong (which I would agree with), then you’re admitting there’s a kind of natural law. The specifically Christian part of natural law is really one possible reasoning behind it/theory as to its origin.

But since you imply that I’m a religious bigot, our conversation might do best to end.

I’m for the legalization of gay marriage. The stereotypes of gays walking around all sassy in pink of flapping their hands like a seal is, for the most part, complete bullshit. I don’t believe that children are born gay so saying that they too will be gay may or may not be true. Doesn’t matter either way.

Against, God created a man and a woman to be together. There’s a huge amount of people here in my country becoming gay for attention. And I don’t want to come close to gay men, because I’m ‘scared’ of them, looking at me or something. Same goes with all my friends. But I won’t call gay people names if I see them. I know some gay women and I really do respect them as a person.

Why are you guys so concerned about this?

Pedophiles, rapists, etc, should be stigmatized.

Gay people don’t affect you at all.

For this being the land of the freem America is always trying to control peoples rights. If you are an American and you truly support what America stands for then you support the right for ALL people to be treated equally. To refuse people their equality is un-American.

Most Republicans ARE homophones

homophones

lmao ded

Back on topic tho

(I am not going to pretend I’ve read all of this above me, it’s way to long)

I think everyone should get the right to marry other person, I mean, what’s the big deal? If they both love each other then fucking let them get marriedHowever, I feel like marriage isn’t even a big deal, my parents aren’t married and they have lived happily together for a fucking long time, it’s not being married or not that will change their love

As a Christian, I support Gay Marriage. Reason being, although I think it is wrong, the Bible also preaches tolerance. Plus other religions support Gay Marriage, and this is America, where we have the right to practice any religion we want.
Clarifying some things in the Bible about Gay people and Gay marriage.

Nowhere does it say it is wrong to be gay, but the bible still preaches against gay marriage and gay sex. It’s definitely NOT a choice. Want proof? Try switching your sexuality for a week. Not too easy.

Things said in the Old Testament should be verified in the New Testament, as Jesus changed a lot of stuff up. New Testament still confirms gay marriage is wrong, but let’s also not forget Jesus saying “love thy neighbor as you love thyself.”
